I had one of my
grandsons, an art student at Concordia University at the time, draw the people
for my first graphic novel, but he’s a professional artist now and doesn’t have
the time (and I can’t afford him). And it’s taken weeks to summon up the nerve
to add people to the graphic novel I’m writing now.
Finally, inspired by the above spontaneous drawing on my granddaughter’s blog, I decided to go for it.
I can hardly do
anything but phone people on my smart phone, so I didn’t go so far as to try it
there. I used a full-size computer, guiding
the Photoshop brush tool with a mouse, and have convinced myself that the
resulting stick-people-wearing-clothes are appropriate for the stylized
background paintings.
